Zinsser B-I-N AQUA 500ML

At just short of £20 for a 500ml tin this paint is undeniably expensive. But I suppose that's because it's no ordinary paint.When our central heating boiler in the bathroom leaked, although we spotted it & stopped the leak almost immediately it still left horrible brown stains on the white kitchen ceiling below it. Tried bleaching the stains as recommended by the pros but that only faded the stains & watermarks slightly. Two coats of standard Dulux emulsion didn't help at all.Research led me to this paint. I was I admit concerned at the price thinking if it doesn't work that's £20 for nothing.Upon opening the tin, the paint smelt rather pleasant in a way emulsion used to smell & upon pouring it, it seemed rather thinner than paint is these days . I don't mean watery, it was very white & opaque - I just mean thin in viscosity.Brushed it onto the damaged area (as I was waiting on a new mini roller) & it covered very well immediately. It was very easy to apply but as I say, thin so go carefully to avoid splashes!When dry I was pleased to find it had obscured the stains by about 90%. A second coat the following day with a mini roller & that became 100% & the finish was excellent.These stains were bad, really dark brown. I don't think anything else would have obscured them so totally as this product. And that's why it's worth the money in my opinion.

Amazing stuff, goes on easy and covers all.. I prefer two light coats of this and did a 100 year old stair case that was lightly rubbed back already

Did the job well. Does what it says on the tin but did take a lot of coats

A little watery to use, apply a good coat with roller if you can. Not had any huge knocks or scratches to the paint work so far but it's held up.We'll see...

Works brilliantly and looks great. Definitely recommend
